"DIE KINDERVILLA"
is a private independent educational establishment for children aged 1 – 6 years.

We run a total of 7 groups, 3 crèches and 4 kindergarten / preschool groups, offering premium, high – quality child care. A major factor is the manageability of our groups. Our small groups are led by a certified kindergarten teacher supported by an assistant.

The Kindervilla was established in 1999 and since then has been offering attractive and tailor - made child care, especially for working parents and their children.

Our home is located in two representative villas built at the turn of the century, which simultaneously convey a feeling of freedom and comfort within their generously proportioned rooms.

You are able to choose between full day or half day care (morning or afternoon). The maximum duration must however not exceed 8 hours per day.The hours are flexible and can be arranged in consultation with the educational director, taking into account each child's individual and educational needs.

Please do not hesitate to contact us for further details regarding our choice of care, the fees and various subsidies and to arrange a personal interview.

OVAGEM AGAIDYAN,
General Manager

Founded and developed the Kindervilla
12 years reporter for migration and minority issues by the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation
6 years member of the Human Rights Commission for Tirol and Vorarlberg
Since 1989 head of the Verein Multikulturell and Tirolean Integration Centre
Court translator

Ovagem Agaidyan has made a major contribution towards integration in Tirol. He has taken on board the concept of working with multilingual educational personnel in child education facilities from other European countries and introduced it in 1997 to Tirol. The importance of the first language for children in the acquisition of a second language is now widely recognized. His career path is accentuated by his vast experience in the field of migration and inclusion.
This work in the Kindervilla is a guarantee for our commitment to international understanding and inclusion. He reflected upon his own migrant experiences in his master studies course in Intercultural Competence. He embodies our international and intercultural orientation.

Equal emphasis is placed on both German and the respective foreign language ( English, French and Italian). In addition we also run a purely English speaking kindergarten / preschool group.

One of the Kindervillas principle criteria is to encourage the children's linguistic and communicative skills. We hereby differentiate between the maintenance of these skills and the acquisition of new ones. A good command of the first language is the best way to ensure confidence in a second or foreign language.

This approach is already being used in the crèche and is continued in the kindergarten / preschool groups, where German is the main language accompanied by a foreign language.

A German speaking kindergarten teacher is in charge of the group and is supported by a native speaking assistant.

In the crèche this model also includes the languagesTurkish, Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian, hereby taking into account the needs of children with a migration background. We have bilingual assistants for these children. The contribution to the concept of inclusion recognises the child´s family and cultural background, encouraging diversity and cultivating mutual empathy.

Our daily routine is both diverse and colourful and is structured to consider the respective stages of the children's development and age. Clearly defined phases of concentrated activity, playing, motor activity, experiencing nature and relaxation play an important role. Our aim is to enable children to experience their environment at first hand by offering various excursions, trips and project days.

Recommended optional extra – curricular activities

MUSIC BOX
The music box uses music as a means of expressing and processing emotional impressions. Musical expression is regarded as a basic human need and includes elementary playing of instruments as well as movement and dance. Moments of tranquillity are also part of the music box, which helps the children to relax.

ABC-GERMAN LESSONSWe are dedicated to the task of accompanying children in their development as individuals and encouraging their talents. Our staff are constantly aware of the great responsibility they have.

The main emphasis of our work, characteristic of the Kindervilla, focuses on language assistance and communication and should not be misunderstood as a mere "learning of a language". It is the basic educational tenor of our work and an integral educational concept providing an early contribution to inclusion and intercultural exchange.

Within the educational plan for kindergarten (Tiroler Bildungsplan) we place particular emphasis on the following:

"WALDWICHTEL"
The Kindervilla Waldwichtl focuses on encountering nature and outdoor exercise. The children participate in regular afternoon outings into the woods. Activities using natural materials stimulate the children's creativity and the peace and quiet of the forest deepens their appreciation of their natural surroundings.

In all we do we put the individuality of the child first. This is achieved by allowing the child´s character, personality and talents to develop in the best possible way and by promoting the child´s social competence.
